Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Mick Jagger [Orange Wave] #17 sells for $39.00 against $4.60 raw: a $34.40 spread, 8.5× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($35.00) 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.
