Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Cresselia-EX sells for $1,670 against $16.44 raw: a $1,654 spread, 102× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($62.59) 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.
