Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Zoroark sells for $396 against $2.74 raw: a $394 spread, 145× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($37.98) 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.
