Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Wolverine [Red Shimmer] #103 sells for $6,930 against $452 raw: a $6,478 spread, 15× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($6,300) 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.
