Is Pidove worth grading?

Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw

A PSA 9 Pidove sells for $99.89 against $6.57 raw: a $93.32 spread, 15× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($99.89) 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.
