Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 ギラティナ sells for $1,245 against $99.99 raw: a $1,145 spread, 12× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($338) 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.
