Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Wobbuffet sells for $999 against $17.13 raw: a $982 spread, 58× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($43.03) 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.
