Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A CGC 9 Munchlax sells for $11,895 against $9.38 raw: a $11,886 spread, 1268× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($104) 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.
