Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Solgaleo-GX sells for $333 against $55.85 raw: a $277 spread, 6.0× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($99.21) 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.
