Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Elemental HERO Dark Neos [Ultimate Rare] POTD-EN033 sells for $402 against $191 raw: a $211 spread, 2.1× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($365) 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.
