Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 M Rayquaza EX #76 sells for $197 against $39.58 raw: a $158 spread, 5.0× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($69.39) 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.
