Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Princess Leia Organa #2 sells for $5,363 against $12.75 raw: a $5,350 spread, 421× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($4,875) 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.
