Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Enter: Darth Vader [Refractor] #50 sells for $267 against $8.88 raw: a $259 spread, 30× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($61.86) 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.
