Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Jolteon ex sells for $8,541 against $210 raw: a $8,331 spread, 41× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($627) 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.
