Is it worth grading? A high gem-mint multiplier makes grading attractive in theory, but the raw band still calls for careful pre-screening. On vintage promos, tiny back-edge chips and corner whitening are frequent grade limiters; surface dents are especially important because they may hide under normal front viewing.
