Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Mewtwo & Mew-GX sells for $1,720 against $181 raw: a $1,540 spread, 9.5× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($225) 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.
