Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Mewtwo & Mew-GX sells for $959 against $120 raw: a $839 spread, 8.0× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($199) 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.
