Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Darkrai & Cresselia LEGEND sells for $3,387 against $140 raw: a $3,247 spread, 24× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($556) 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.
