Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Grand Moff Tarkin [Foil] sells for $500 against $7.99 raw: a $492 spread, 63× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($64.97) 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.
