Is The Poisoned Apple #IM-10 worth grading?
Entertainment · 2023 Topps Chrome Disney 100 Iconic Moments · full price guide →
Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 The Poisoned Apple #IM-10 sells for $42.00 against $12.47 raw: a $29.53 spread, 3.4× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($38.00) 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.
