Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A CGC 10 Solo Han sells for $150 against $12.67 raw: a $137 spread, 12× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($42.69) 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.
