Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Bobby Wagner [Autograph] #14 sells for $121 against $27.00 raw: a $94.00 spread, 4.5× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($110) 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.
