Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Anakin Skywalker [Red Refractor] #39 sells for $6,116 against $49.99 raw: a $6,066 spread, 122× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($5,560) 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.
