Is Fight for Lithium #33 worth grading?

Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Fight for Lithium #33 sells for $418 against $24.34 raw: a $394 spread, 17× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($380) 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.
