Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Umbreon sells for $13,100 against $35.40 raw: a $13,065 spread, 370× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($324) 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.
