Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Victreebel sells for $326 against $16.23 raw: a $310 spread, 20× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($66.82) 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.

|---|---|---|
| 25% | $132 | +$65.42 |
| 50% | $196 | +$130 |

Even a miss (a 9) beats selling raw after the standard fee — the gem rate only decides how much you win by.
