Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Kylo Ren [SuperFractor] #52 sells for $935 against $800 raw: a $135 spread, 1.2× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($850) 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.
