Is 20th Secret Rare Challenge Pack worth grading?

Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 20th Secret Rare Challenge Pack sells for $679 against $398 raw: a $281 spread, 1.7× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($617) 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.
