Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Vileplume δ sells for $436 against $34.25 raw: a $401 spread, 13× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($99.89) 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.
