Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Unown [Z] sells for $61.17 against $14.20 raw: a $46.97 spread, 4.3× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($41.40) 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.
