Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Flareon E4 sells for $750 against $2.78 raw: a $747 spread, 270× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($72.68) 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.
