Is Hercules [Red Refractor] #44 worth grading?

Entertainment · 2025 Topps Chrome Disney · full price guide →

Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw

A Grade 9.5 Hercules [Red Refractor] #44 sells for $330 against $195 raw: a $135 spread, 1.7× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($300) 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.

Raw (NM): $195
Grade 9.5: $330
PSA 9: $300
