Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Luster Dragon [1st Edition] MFC-058 sells for $561 against $18.74 raw: a $542 spread, 30× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($89.95) 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.
