Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Giratina sells for $1,009 against $64.81 raw: a $944 spread, 16× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($469) 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.
