Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Mask of Restrict [1st Edition] LON-018 sells for $356 against $37.71 raw: a $318 spread, 9.4× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($97.66) 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.
