Is Stardust Dragon 20CP-JPT06 worth grading?
Yu-Gi-Oh! · YuGiOh Japanese 20th Secret Rare · full price guide →
Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Stardust Dragon 20CP-JPT06 sells for $104 against $64.99 raw: a $39.01 spread, 1.6× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($94.51) 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.
