Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Kyogre ☆ sells for $5,021 against $2,101 raw: a $2,920 spread, 2.4× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($5,847) 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.
