Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Naganadel-GX sells for $89.36 against $11.59 raw: a $77.77 spread, 7.7× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($40.31) 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.
