Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Bruce Wayne / Dick Grayson #16b sells for $825 against $3.64 raw: a $821 spread, 227× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($750) 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.
