Is Richard Dent #160 worth grading?

Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw

A Grade 9.5 Richard Dent #160 sells for $167 against $4.50 raw: a $163 spread, 37× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($151) 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.
