Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Pokémon March sells for $336 against $9.36 raw: a $327 spread, 36× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($52.54) 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.
