Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Meganium ex sells for $5,150 against $275 raw: a $4,875 spread, 19× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($649) 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.
