Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Gardevoir δ sells for $946 against $92.50 raw: a $853 spread, 10× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($183) 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.
