Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Meowth sells for $369 against $6.47 raw: a $363 spread, 57× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($63.16) 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% | $140 | +$83.18 |
| 50% | $216 | +$160 |

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