Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw

A PSA 9 Team Magma's Mightyena sells for $100 against $2.95 raw: a $97.05 spread, 34× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($100) 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.
