Is Yoda #7 worth grading?

Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Yoda #7 sells for $83.00 against $1.95 raw: a $81.05 spread, 43× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($75.25) 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.
