Is Change of Heart [Ultra Parallel Rare] worth grading?

Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Change of Heart [Ultra Parallel Rare] sells for $134 against $36.80 raw: a $97.20 spread, 3.6× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($122) 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.
