Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Team Rocket's Evil Deeds sells for $389 against $7.06 raw: a $382 spread, 55× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($35.00) 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.
