Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 XY-Dragon Cannon KC01-EN035 sells for $116 against $19.33 raw: a $96.67 spread, 6.0× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($96.87) 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.
