Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Mew sells for $441 against $222 raw: a $220 spread, 2.0× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($2,137) 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.
