Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Mew sells for $1,395 against $40.48 raw: a $1,354 spread, 34× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($247) 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% | $821 | +$730 |

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