Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Dodododo Warrior [Starlight Rare] DUAD-EN004 sells for $275 against $36.39 raw: a $238 spread, 7.5× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($194) 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.
