Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Feraligatr sells for $2,535 against $332 raw: a $2,203 spread, 7.6× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($1,259) 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.
