Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Jolteon ex sells for $599 against $292 raw: a $306 spread, 2.0× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($840) 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.
