Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Blue-Eyes Toon Dragon PS-00 sells for $640 against $20.50 raw: a $620 spread, 31× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($102) 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.
