Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Reshiram & Zekrom-GX sells for $803 against $95.38 raw: a $708 spread, 8.4× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($142) 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.
