Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 James White #RA-JW sells for $51.00 against $12.17 raw: a $38.83 spread, 4.2× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($46.01) 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.
