Is Mrs. Potts [Black White Speckle Refractor] #51 worth grading?

Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Mrs. Potts [Black White Speckle Refractor] #51 sells for $81.00 against $32.35 raw: a $48.65 spread, 2.5× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($74.00) 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.
