Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Dewgong sells for $56.87 against $2.13 raw: a $54.74 spread, 27× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($28.51) 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.
