Is Blade [Verve] #71 worth grading?

Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw

A Grade 9.5 Blade [Verve] #71 sells for $50.00 against $11.14 raw: a $38.86 spread, 4.5× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($45.00) 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): $11.14
Grade 9.5: $50.00
