Grading doesn't pay on this one—a PSA 10 barely nudges above raw, so skip the fees. That said, the gap between a 10 and a 9 is steep at 3× the price (£290 versus £96.38), so only submit a flawless copy if you're certain. UK buyers clearly prefer ACE: 23 of 38 recent graded sales went that route over PSA. Raw copies have actually shifted at around £230 across five UK sales in the last 90 days, though the PSA 10 median's jumped 31.3% lately to £289.99—worth watching if you're sitting on a raw that could grade clean.
