Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Bernie Williams [Refractor] #30 sells for $2,750 against $318 raw: a $2,432 spread, 8.6× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($2,500) 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.
