Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Diabellstar the Black Witch OP26-EN001 sells for $157 against $21.72 raw: a $135 spread, 7.2× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($108) 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.
