Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Latias-EX sells for $3,752 against $70.70 raw: a $3,682 spread, 53× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($1,079) 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.
