Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Cyberse Magician CYHO-JP026 sells for $147 against $15.98 raw: a $131 spread, 9.2× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($78.87) 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.
