Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Dark Magician Girl MP24-EN009 sells for $134 against $15.00 raw: a $119 spread, 8.9× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($48.36) 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.
