Is it worth grading? Because ungraded copies already command a high price and the gem-mint uplift is comparatively restrained, grading is most sensible for preservation or a clearly top-condition candidate. Inspect dark areas for scratches and print defects, since minor flaws can stand out strongly on dramatic foil artwork.
