Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Dragon Treasure [1st Edition] LOB-E072 sells for $595 against $10.90 raw: a $584 spread, 55× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($54.17) 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.
