Is Ahsoka #3 worth grading?

Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Ahsoka #3 sells for $1,120 against $28.00 raw: a $1,092 spread, 40× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($1,018) 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.
