Is Ariel [Teal Refractor] #58 worth grading?
Entertainment · 2025 Topps Chrome Disney · full price guide →
Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Ariel [Teal Refractor] #58 sells for $46.00 against $16.50 raw: a $29.50 spread, 2.8× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($41.95) 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.
