Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Meteor Black Comet Dragon [1st Edition] INOV-EN041 sells for $120 against $10.00 raw: a $110 spread, 12× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($49.55) 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.
