Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A ACE 9 Kyogre & Groudon LEGEND sells for $474 against $292 raw: a $182 spread, 1.6× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($343) 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.
