Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw

A PSA 9 Kirlia sells for $35.00 against $0.33 raw: a $34.67 spread, 106× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($35.00) 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.
