Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Quinn Hughes #180 sells for $85.79 against $16.40 raw: a $69.39 spread, 5.2× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($69.00) 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.
