Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Willie Stargell #22 sells for $2,730 against $98.75 raw: a $2,631 spread, 28× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($2,482) 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.
