Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Pidgeot δ sells for $344 against $45.12 raw: a $299 spread, 7.6× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($120) 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.
