Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Archlord Kristya [1st Edition] SOVR-EN096 sells for $3,000 against $290 raw: a $2,710 spread, 10× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($557) 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.
