Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Wendell Carter Jr. #MO-WC sells for $661 against $2.33 raw: a $659 spread, 284× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($601) 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.
