Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Hulk Hogan #24 sells for $69.99 against $8.77 raw: a $61.22 spread, 8.0× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($50.00) 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.
