Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw

A Grade 9.5 Anakin Skywalker [Atomic Refractor] #88 sells for $123 against $29.74 raw: a $93.26 spread, 4.1× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($112) 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.
