Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Dialga sells for $2,468 against $34.37 raw: a $2,434 spread, 72× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($381) 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.
