Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Majestic Star Dragon [Ultimate Rare] SOVR-JP040 sells for $512 against $22.81 raw: a $490 spread, 22× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($99.40) 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.
