Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Celebi sells for $387 against $33.79 raw: a $354 spread, 11× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($88.31) 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.
