Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Gengar & Mimikyu-GX sells for $1,795 against $340 raw: a $1,455 spread, 5.3× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($453) 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.
