Is it worth grading?
Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A CGC 10 Unown [J] sells for $499 against $27.26 raw: a $472 spread, 18× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($290) 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.
