Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Deoxys Normal Forme sells for $92.00 against $43.23 raw: a $48.77 spread, 2.1× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($473) 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.
