Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Dewgong sells for $53.34 against $2.26 raw: a $51.08 spread, 24× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($30.01) 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.
