Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Blue-Eyes White Dragon [Version 2] LCKC-EN001 sells for $125 against $13.08 raw: a $112 spread, 9.6× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($49.99) 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.
