Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 7.5 Weavile sells for $71.55 against $2.82 raw: a $68.73 spread, 25× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($38.00) 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.
