Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Gardevoir sells for $7,695 against $10.04 raw: a $7,685 spread, 766× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($310) 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.
