Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Gardevoir LV.X sells for $1,500 against $113 raw: a $1,387 spread, 13× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($861) 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.
