Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Meganium sells for $39,515 against $134 raw: a $39,381 spread, 295× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($930) 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.
