Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Grand Admiral Thrawn [Foil] sells for $319 against $74.99 raw: a $244 spread, 4.3× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($290) 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.
