Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Tearlaments Rulkallos [Starlight Rare] DABL-EN039 sells for $397 against $119 raw: a $278 spread, 3.3× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($226) 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.
