Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Solemn Wishes PSV-055 sells for $96.45 against $1.37 raw: a $95.08 spread, 70× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($42.89) 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.
