Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Medicham sells for $748 against $11.67 raw: a $737 spread, 64× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($69.43) 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.
