Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 リザードン sells for $1,110 against $25.00 raw: a $1,085 spread, 44× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($137) 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.
