Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 9 Rayquaza & Deoxys LEGEND sells for $1,773 against $599 raw: a $1,174 spread, 3.0× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($1,773) 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.
