Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 9 Deoxys δ sells for $2,433 against $50.25 raw: a $2,383 spread, 48× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($2,433) 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.
