Is it worth grading?
Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 The Emperor #43 sells for $47.00 against $8.99 raw: a $38.01 spread, 5.2× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($43.00) 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.
