Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Exodia the Forbidden One [1st Edition] LOB-E101 sells for $10,008 against $202 raw: a $9,806 spread, 49× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($477) 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.
