Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Deoxys sells for $77,072 against $500 raw: a $76,572 spread, 154× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($4,581) 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.
