Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Poseidra Abyss, the Atlantean Dragon Lord [Quarter Century Secret Rare] ROTA-EN043 sells for $148 against $19.93 raw: a $128 spread, 7.4× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($101) 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.
