Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Drampa-GX sells for $55.83 against $2.40 raw: a $53.43 spread, 23× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($29.59) 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.
