Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Hydreigon sells for $600 against $11.86 raw: a $588 spread, 51× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($55.89) 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.
