Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Snorlax sells for $65,870 against $342 raw: a $65,528 spread, 193× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($2,740) 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.
