Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Gardevoir & Sylveon-GX sells for $5,015 against $625 raw: a $4,390 spread, 8.0× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($1,093) 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.
