Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Nico Robin sells for $206 against $0.12 raw: a $206 spread, 1715× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($41.25) 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.
