Is it worth grading?
Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Pikachu sells for $4,507 against $29.38 raw: a $4,477 spread, 153× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($286) 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.
