Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A CGC 10 Roserade GL sells for $100 against $7.23 raw: a $92.77 spread, 14× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($40.63) 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.
