Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Wigglytuff sells for $40,000 against $23.48 raw: a $39,977 spread, 1704× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($238) 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.
