Is Speed Demon #69 worth grading?

Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw

A Grade 9.5 Speed Demon #69 sells for $36.00 against $1.87 raw: a $34.13 spread, 19× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($32.97) 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): $1.87
Grade 9.5: $36.00
