Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Bubba Wallace #SS-BW sells for $194 against $12.55 raw: a $181 spread, 15× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($176) 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.
