Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Dark Magician Girl [20th Secret Rare] 20TH-JPC55 sells for $390 against $39.30 raw: a $351 spread, 9.9× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($109) 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.
