Is Storm #SS-7 worth grading?

Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Storm #SS-7 sells for $138 against $57.00 raw: a $81.00 spread, 2.4× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($115) 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.
