Is Chewbacca #13 worth grading?
Star Wars · 1983 Star Wars: Return of the Jedi Sticker · full price guide →
Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Chewbacca #13 sells for $33.00 against $3.35 raw: a $29.65 spread, 9.9× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($30.06) 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.
