Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw

A Grade 9.5 Right Arm Of The Forbidden One [1st Edition] LOB-E099 sells for $380 against $59.87 raw: a $320 spread, 6.3× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($345) 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.
