Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Blue-Eyes Jet Dragon [Starlight Rare 1st Edition] BACH-EN004 sells for $179 against $20.91 raw: a $158 spread, 8.5× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($71.38) 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.
