Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Mewtwo-GX sells for $8,100 against $819 raw: a $7,281 spread, 9.9× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($1,557) 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.
