Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Dunsparce sells for $240 against $1.22 raw: a $239 spread, 197× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($32.99) 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.
