Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Blue-Eyes White Dragon QCCP-JP001 sells for $229 against $18.23 raw: a $211 spread, 13× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($132) 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.
