Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Cresselia LV.X sells for $1,627 against $44.72 raw: a $1,582 spread, 36× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($432) 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.
