Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Hades [Dark Blue Light Blue] #22 sells for $358 against $94.99 raw: a $263 spread, 3.8× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($325) 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.
