Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Wingull sells for $62.41 against $0.35 raw: a $62.06 spread, 178× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($89.68) 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.
