Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Lucario LV.X sells for $8,758 against $117 raw: a $8,641 spread, 75× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($894) 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.
