Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Qi'ra [Death Star Interior Orange] #82 sells for $83.00 against $20.50 raw: a $62.50 spread, 4.0× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($75.50) 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.
