Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Chaos Emperor Dragon - Envoy of the End JUMP-EN086 sells for $99.99 against $10.00 raw: a $89.99 spread, 10.0× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($66.00) 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.
