Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Chewbacca [Red Refractor] #13 sells for $99.00 against $50.00 raw: a $49.00 spread, 2.0× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($89.96) 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.
