Is Life from the Loam 172 worth grading?

It depends on the card's condition and the gap between graded and raw prices. At $7.62 raw, a grading fee and weeks of turnaround have to be covered by the odds of a high grade, not just the PSA 10 price. Check centering, corners, edges and surface first, then run the grading calculator with this card's raw price filled in.
