Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Mr. Mime sells for $118 against $3.07 raw: a $115 spread, 38× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($30.81) 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.
