Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Snorlax sells for $2,350 against $24.23 raw: a $2,326 spread, 97× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($123) 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.
