Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Darth Vader and Princess Leia [Refractor] #2 sells for $34.83 against $2.51 raw: a $32.32 spread, 14× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($32.99) 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.
