Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 9 Oddish sells for $99.00 against $0.24 raw: a $98.76 spread, 413× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($50.00) 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.
