Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Ewan McGregor as Obi-Wan Kenobi [Orange Refractor] #A-EM sells for $1,543 against $900 raw: a $643 spread, 1.7× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($1,403) 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.
