Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Latios sells for $202 against $27.51 raw: a $174 spread, 7.3× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($1,116) 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.
