Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Primeape δ sells for $299 against $3.66 raw: a $295 spread, 82× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($52.08) 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.
