Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 William Saliba [Zebra] #222 sells for $75.00 against $41.00 raw: a $34.00 spread, 1.8× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($67.87) 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.
