Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Stormtooper [Mini-Diamonds Refractor] #GG-18 sells for $83.00 against $47.02 raw: a $35.98 spread, 1.8× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($75.00) 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.
