Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Torterra LV.X sells for $9,911 against $114 raw: a $9,797 spread, 87× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($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.
