Is Boba Fett #VC-7 worth grading?

Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Boba Fett #VC-7 sells for $184 against $60.00 raw: a $124 spread, 3.1× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($168) 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.
