Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Moon Dragon Quilla [Ultimate Rare] ABPF-JP043 sells for $59.00 against $9.89 raw: a $49.11 spread, 6.0× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($49.15) 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.
