Is Eloy Jimenez #60 worth grading?

Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw

A Grade 9.5 Eloy Jimenez #60 sells for $56.00 against $0.25 raw: a $55.75 spread, 224× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($51.00) 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.
