Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Primite Dragon Nether Berzelius [Starlight Rare] DUAD-EN035 sells for $125 against $15.32 raw: a $110 spread, 8.1× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($76.14) 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.
