Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Odd-Eyes Arcray Dragon [Starlight Rare] RA05-EN145 sells for $318 against $40.94 raw: a $277 spread, 7.8× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($111) 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.
