Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Magnezone LV.X sells for $9,756 against $80.00 raw: a $9,676 spread, 122× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($134) 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.
