Is Wolverine #2 worth grading?

Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Wolverine #2 sells for $90.00 against $21.34 raw: a $68.66 spread, 4.2× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($82.00) 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.
