Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Mewtwo V sells for $326 against $60.23 raw: a $265 spread, 5.4× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($86.48) 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.
