Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Rainbow Dragon [Ghost Rare 1st Edition] TAEV-EN006 sells for $3,758 against $259 raw: a $3,500 spread, 15× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($708) 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.
