Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Dude Love #HLX-DUD sells for $128 against $41.00 raw: a $87.24 spread, 3.1× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($68.03) 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.
