Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Reshiram & Charizard-GX sells for $491 against $94.85 raw: a $396 spread, 5.2× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($125) 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.
