Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Borrelend Dragon BLGG-EN142 sells for $157 against $17.99 raw: a $139 spread, 8.8× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($91.20) 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.
