Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Beelzemon [Alternate Art Foil] #BT2-111 sells for $55.00 against $0.62 raw: a $54.38 spread, 89× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($50.00) 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.
