Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Majestic Red Dragon [Ghost Rare 1st Edition] ABPF-EN040 sells for $569 against $124 raw: a $445 spread, 4.6× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($517) 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.
