Is Darth Maul [Foil] worth grading?

Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Darth Maul [Foil] sells for $161 against $74.56 raw: a $86.44 spread, 2.2× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($147) 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.
