Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Kangaskhan sells for $11,556 against $81.52 raw: a $11,475 spread, 142× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($547) 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.
