Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Pokémon March sells for $297 against $6.34 raw: a $291 spread, 47× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($51.11) 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.
