Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Fuchsia City Gym sells for $71.55 against $2.51 raw: a $69.04 spread, 29× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($27.52) 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.
