Is Luke With Lightsaber worth grading?

Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Luke With Lightsaber sells for $47.00 against $9.99 raw: a $37.01 spread, 4.7× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($42.69) 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.
