Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Mewtwo sells for $1,500 against $79.98 raw: a $1,420 spread, 19× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($900) 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.

| 50% | $1,200 | +$1,070 |
