Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Left Arm of the Forbidden One [1st Edition] LOB-E100 sells for $3,184 against $45.56 raw: a $3,138 spread, 70× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($302) 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.
