Is Angel #62 worth grading?

Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw

A Grade 9.5 Angel #62 sells for $129 against $30.03 raw: a $98.97 spread, 4.3× 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.

Raw (NM): $30.03
Grade 9.5: $129
