Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Suicune sells for $649 against $64.98 raw: a $584 spread, 10.0× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($132) 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.
