Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Groudon sells for $10,295 against $4.67 raw: a $10,291 spread, 2205× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($945) 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.

| 50% | $5,620 | +$5,565 |
