Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Suicune sells for $1,681 against $461 raw: a $1,220 spread, 3.6× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($1,059) 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.
