Is Elsa #T-16 worth grading?
Entertainment · 2025 Topps Disney Wonder Tapestries · full price guide →
Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Elsa #T-16 sells for $178 against $8.00 raw: a $170 spread, 22× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($162) 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.
