Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Pidgeotto δ sells for $1,168 against $3.29 raw: a $1,165 spread, 355× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($73.77) 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.
