Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Marshadow & Machamp-GX sells for $240 against $32.39 raw: a $207 spread, 7.4× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($58.58) 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.
