Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Keldeo-EX sells for $202 against $1.57 raw: a $201 spread, 129× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($40.77) 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.
