Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Red Dragon Archfiend's Chain [Overframe Prismatic Secret Rare] LOCR-JP009 sells for $165 against $19.98 raw: a $145 spread, 8.3× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($99.30) clears the raw price after an economy-tier ~$25 fee, so a near-miss still comes out ahead.
