Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Raikou & Suicune LEGEND sells for $6,010 against $153 raw: a $5,857 spread, 39× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($248) 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.
