Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Blue-Eyes Toon Dragon [1st Edition] SDP-020 sells for $268 against $5.44 raw: a $262 spread, 49× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($89.99) 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.
