Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Anakin Skywalker #GG-18 sells for $42.49 against $4.60 raw: a $37.89 spread, 9.2× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($33.47) 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.
