Is Trent Alexander Arnold #29 worth grading?

Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw

A Grade 9.5 Trent Alexander Arnold #29 sells for $59.00 against $9.60 raw: a $49.40 spread, 6.1× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($53.32) 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.
