Is Gambit [Gold Foil Signature] #41 worth grading?

Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Gambit [Gold Foil Signature] #41 sells for $66.00 against $7.00 raw: a $59.00 spread, 9.4× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($59.61) 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.
