Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon [Ghost Rare 1st Edition] PHSW-EN011 sells for $707 against $122 raw: a $585 spread, 5.8× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($642) 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.
