Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Team Magma's Aron sells for $49.88 against $0.70 raw: a $49.18 spread, 71× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($31.00) 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.
