Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Dunsparce sells for $412 against $1.87 raw: a $410 spread, 220× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($98.91) 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.
