Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Kyogre sells for $1,417 against $42.61 raw: a $1,374 spread, 33× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($321) 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.
