Is Baloo [Red Black Refractor] #32 worth grading?

Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Baloo [Red Black Refractor] #32 sells for $152 against $53.64 raw: a $98.36 spread, 2.8× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($139) 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.
