Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Jigglypuff sells for $99.99 against $0.13 raw: a $99.86 spread, 769× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($34.95) 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.
