Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Glaceon LV.X sells for $10,670 against $525 raw: a $10,145 spread, 20× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($1,996) 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.
