Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Raviel, Lord of Phantasms [Ultimate Rare 1st Edition] SOI-EN003 sells for $4,000 against $231 raw: a $3,769 spread, 17× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($950) 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.
