Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Snorlax sells for $1,121 against $18.59 raw: a $1,102 spread, 60× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($91.91) 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.
