Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw

A PSA 9 Clefairy sells for $41.06 against $0.42 raw: a $40.64 spread, 98× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($25.99) 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.
