Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Gallade E4 LV.X sells for $12,999 against $99.03 raw: a $12,900 spread, 131× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($718) 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.
