Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Deoxys ex sells for $1,820 against $149 raw: a $1,671 spread, 12× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($1,020) 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.
