Is Elijah Moore #98 worth grading?

Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw

A Grade 9.5 Elijah Moore #98 sells for $34.00 against $0.41 raw: a $33.59 spread, 83× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($30.59) 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.

Raw (NM): $0.41
Grade 9.5: $34.00
