Is Stitch [Black] #DI-18 worth grading?
Entertainment · 2025 Topps Chrome Disney Icons · full price guide →
Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Stitch [Black] #DI-18 sells for $426 against $146 raw: a $280 spread, 2.9× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($387) 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.
