Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Gengar & Mimikyu-GX sells for $2,765 against $359 raw: a $2,405 spread, 7.7× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($488) 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.
