Is it worth grading?
Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Darth Vader [Orange Refractor] #FA-1 sells for $193 against $109 raw: a $84.50 spread, 1.8× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($175) 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.
