Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Raviel, Lord of Phantasms DR04-EN123 sells for $167 against $35.79 raw: a $131 spread, 4.7× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($152) 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.
