Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Jacob Wilson [Flare] #STN-1 sells for $622 against $493 raw: a $129 spread, 1.3× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($565) clears the raw price after an economy-tier ~$25 fee, so a near-miss still comes out ahead. Centering is the usual reason a clean copy misses the 10 — measure it before you submit.
