Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Jaylen Waddle [Black Pandora] #DH-JW sells for $70.00 against $37.99 raw: a $32.01 spread, 1.8× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($63.50) 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.
