Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Star Wars [X-fractor] #57 sells for $223 against $162 raw: a $61.50 spread, 1.4× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($203) 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.
