Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Robin Hood sells for $202 against $111 raw: a $90.94 spread, 1.8× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($159) 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.
