Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Solgaleo ◇ sells for $394 against $5.29 raw: a $389 spread, 74× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($35.78) 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.
