Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Trident Dragion [Ultimate Rare] RGBT-JP043 sells for $102 against $20.00 raw: a $82.27 spread, 5.1× 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.
