Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Aggron sells for $495 against $9.67 raw: a $485 spread, 51× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($59.66) 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.
