Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 WALT Street [Green] #1b sells for $82.00 against $3.99 raw: a $78.01 spread, 21× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($74.95) 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.
