Is Magneto [Promo] worth grading?

Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Magneto [Promo] sells for $103 against $10.92 raw: a $92.08 spread, 9.4× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($94.05) 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.
