Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Gabumon [Alternate Art Foil] #EX1-011 sells for $110 against $6.44 raw: a $104 spread, 17× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($99.95) 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.
