Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Breloom sells for $1,018 against $28.86 raw: a $989 spread, 35× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($101) 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.
