Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Torterra sells for $5,760 against $14.69 raw: a $5,745 spread, 392× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($169) 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.
