Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Torterra sells for $368 against $2.67 raw: a $365 spread, 138× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($521) 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.
