Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Pokémon Fan Club sells for $546 against $120 raw: a $426 spread, 4.6× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($262) 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.
