Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Dragon Knight Draco-Equiste [1st Edition Ghost Rare] DREV-EN038 sells for $259 against $59.99 raw: a $199 spread, 4.3× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($236) 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.
