Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Roronoa Zoro sells for $3,631 against $0.91 raw: a $3,630 spread, 3990× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($2,199) 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.
