Is Lobo #120 worth grading?

Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Lobo #120 sells for $66.00 against $1.16 raw: a $64.84 spread, 57× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($59.99) 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.
