Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Kangaskhan sells for $388 against $18.13 raw: a $370 spread, 21× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($82.36) 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.

| 50% | $235 | +$167 |
