Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Yoda the Jedi Master #58 sells for $151 against $1.94 raw: a $149 spread, 78× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($137) 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.
