Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Celebi sells for $2,125 against $52.14 raw: a $2,073 spread, 41× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($337) 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.
