Is Yoda #10 worth grading?

Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Yoda #10 sells for $47.00 against $2.61 raw: a $44.39 spread, 18× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($42.48) 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.
