Is Luke Skywalker, Jedi Knight worth grading?

Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Luke Skywalker, Jedi Knight sells for $770 against $200 raw: a $570 spread, 3.9× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($700) 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.
