Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Wolverine [Hologram] #50 sells for $484 against $125 raw: a $359 spread, 3.9× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($440) 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.
