Is Mickey Mouse [Star] #CDT-CXG-78 worth grading?

Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw

A Grade 9.5 Mickey Mouse [Star] #CDT-CXG-78 sells for $54.00 against $14.70 raw: a $39.30 spread, 3.7× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($49.00) 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.

Raw (NM): $14.70
Grade 9.5: $54.00
