Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Boba Fett [Green Refractor] #89 sells for $59.00 against $13.99 raw: a $45.01 spread, 4.2× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($54.00) 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.
