Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Gastly sells for $351 against $8.59 raw: a $343 spread, 41× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($61.84) 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.
