Is Hollywood #140 worth grading?

Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Hollywood #140 sells for $66.00 against $2.49 raw: a $63.51 spread, 27× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($59.95) 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.
