Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A CGC 9 Mawile sells for $44.92 against $0.57 raw: a $44.35 spread, 79× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($39.00) 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.
