Is Checklist #1-132 #111 worth grading?

Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw

A Grade 9.5 Checklist #1-132 #111 sells for $429 against $7.99 raw: a $421 spread, 54× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($390) 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.
