Is Dory #53 worth grading?

Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw

A Grade 9.5 Dory #53 sells for $67.00 against $3.25 raw: a $63.75 spread, 21× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($61.29) 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.

Raw (NM): $3.25
