Is Stardust Dragon [1st Edition] DP08-EN014 worth grading?

Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Stardust Dragon [1st Edition] DP08-EN014 sells for $97.00 against $4.18 raw: a $92.82 spread, 23× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($87.99) 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.
