Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Metagross sells for $3,050 against $11.84 raw: a $3,038 spread, 258× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($60.75) 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.
