Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Mew-EX sells for $12,415 against $244 raw: a $12,171 spread, 51× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($1,010) 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.
