Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Cyberse Clock Dragon SOFU-JP034 sells for $143 against $15.77 raw: a $127 spread, 9.1× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($78.38) 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.
