Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Wolverine #MI-2 sells for $1,051 against $282 raw: a $769 spread, 3.7× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($876) 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.
