Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Michelle Wie #R25 sells for $57.00 against $6.00 raw: a $51.00 spread, 9.5× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($51.78) 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.
