Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Princess Leia honors the victors #180 sells for $370 against $2.25 raw: a $368 spread, 164× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($337) 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.
