Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Professor X #WI62 sells for $79.00 against $27.59 raw: a $51.41 spread, 2.9× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($71.95) 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.
