Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 XY-Dragon Cannon [1st Edition] MFC-051 sells for $750 against $30.18 raw: a $720 spread, 25× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($84.36) 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.
