Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Meloetta-EX sells for $3,418 against $37.87 raw: a $3,380 spread, 90× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($143) 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.
