Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Mew ex sells for $175 against $1.38 raw: a $173 spread, 127× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($58.77) 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.

| 50% | $117 | +$65.31 |

Even a miss (a 9) beats selling raw after the standard fee — the gem rate only decides how much you win by.
