Is Han Solo #2 worth grading?

Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Han Solo #2 sells for $63.00 against $6.54 raw: a $56.46 spread, 9.6× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($57.50) 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.
