Is Obi-Wan's Lightsaber worth grading?
Star Wars · Star Wars CCG Premiere Limited · full price guide →
Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Obi-Wan's Lightsaber sells for $52.00 against $4.43 raw: a $47.57 spread, 12× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($46.89) 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.
