Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Latias & Latios-GX sells for $16,929 against $3,216 raw: a $13,714 spread, 5.3× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($5,500) 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.
