Is it worth grading?
Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Rocket's Articuno ex sells for $9,085 against $480 raw: a $8,605 spread, 19× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($1,431) 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.
