Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Number 17: Leviathan Dragon GENF-JP039 sells for $140 against $23.44 raw: a $117 spread, 6.0× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($117) 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.
