Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Roronoa Zoro sells for $165 against $6.23 raw: a $159 spread, 27× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($4,800) 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.
