Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Yveltal ex sells for $63.48 against $3.52 raw: a $59.96 spread, 18× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($29.88) 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.
