Is Garbodor worth grading?

Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw

A PSA 9 Garbodor sells for $31.21 against $1.28 raw: a $29.93 spread, 24× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($31.21) 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.
