Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Wendi Richter #8 sells for $96.00 against $2.07 raw: a $93.93 spread, 46× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($87.50) 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.
