Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Ahsoka Tano [Gold Refractor] #1 sells for $488 against $73.30 raw: a $415 spread, 6.7× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($443) 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.
