Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Butterfree FB sells for $62.38 against $8.57 raw: a $53.81 spread, 7.3× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($46.90) 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.
