Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Dylan Harper [Red] #BGP-3 sells for $18,700 against $15,000 raw: a $3,700 spread, 1.2× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($17,000) 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.
