Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Mewtwo ex sells for $9,412 against $369 raw: a $9,043 spread, 26× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($2,321) 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.
