Is G Scope worth grading?

Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw

A PSA 9 G Scope sells for $33.10 against $3.95 raw: a $29.15 spread, 8.4× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($33.10) 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.
