Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Rayquaza δ sells for $7,139 against $283 raw: a $6,855 spread, 25× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($1,224) 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.
