Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Typhlosion sells for $10,000 against $36.40 raw: a $9,964 spread, 275× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($200) 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.
