Is Gale Cumulus [Gold Refractor] #60 worth grading?

Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Gale Cumulus [Gold Refractor] #60 sells for $84.00 against $15.75 raw: a $68.25 spread, 5.3× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($76.69) 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.
