Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Early Wynn [Perforated] #22 sells for $464 against $15.00 raw: a $449 spread, 31× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($422) 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.
