Is Angel #62 worth grading?

Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Angel #62 sells for $129 against $32.64 raw: a $96.36 spread, 4.0× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($118) 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.
