Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Naboo Royal Starship #AN-5 sells for $48.00 against $1.59 raw: a $46.41 spread, 30× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($40.00) 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.
