Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw

A Grade 9.5 A'ja Wilson [Gold Prizm] #2 sells for $182 against $66.88 raw: a $115 spread, 2.7× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($165) 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.
