Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Lee Pace as Ronan [Gold] #AA-LP sells for $149 against $105 raw: a $44.50 spread, 1.4× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($136) 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.
