Is it worth grading?

Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw

A PSA 9 Metal Energy sells for $56.00 against $1.25 raw: a $54.75 spread, 45× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($56.00) 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.
