Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Number 99: Utopic Dragon MP15-EN190 sells for $119 against $8.29 raw: a $111 spread, 14× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($41.20) 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.
