Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A CGC 10 Leafeon LV.X sells for $2,024 against $200 raw: a $1,824 spread, 10× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($1,604) 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.

Even a miss (a 9) beats selling raw after the standard fee — the gem rate only decides how much you win by.
