Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Blue-Eyes Alternative Ultimate Dragon 20TH-JPC00 sells for $235 against $19.61 raw: a $215 spread, 12× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($97.46) 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.
