Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Jyn Erso [Red Wave Refractor] #119 sells for $76.00 against $3.16 raw: a $72.84 spread, 24× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($69.00) 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.
