Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Trish Stratus #5TA-TS sells for $127 against $70.80 raw: a $56.20 spread, 1.8× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($115) 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.
