But if you are looking to sell it and get max dollars for it than you may want to consider getting it graded.
My peers are right the auction house would know it is real and many collectors would no it is real. BUT there is so much new money coming into the collection world and many are "investors" and not collectors. Those people would not bid on something ungraded since they are usually less knowledgeable and would tend to trust and bid on things that are graded vs non graded as a result you may not get as many bidders as you could from those not willing to bi on what they do not know
