Is Checklist #100 worth grading?

Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Checklist #100 sells for $217 against $5.37 raw: a $212 spread, 40× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($197) 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.
