Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Jirachi sells for $2,475 against $26.22 raw: a $2,449 spread, 94× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($51.47) 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.
