Is Independence [Foil] worth grading?

Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Independence [Foil] sells for $55.00 against $8.00 raw: a $47.00 spread, 6.9× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($49.99) 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.
