Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Igglybuff sells for $94.99 against $6.46 raw: a $88.53 spread, 15× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($93.82) 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.
