Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Diglett sells for $193 against $2.62 raw: a $190 spread, 74× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($30.15) 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.
