Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Destiny HERO - Plasma MGED-EN007 sells for $145 against $0.41 raw: a $145 spread, 354× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($30.00) 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.
