Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Billy Williams [Missed Only 1 Last Season] #46 sells for $49.00 against $4.50 raw: a $44.50 spread, 11× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($44.48) 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.
