Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 9 Zorua sells for $54.46 against $2.31 raw: a $52.15 spread, 24× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($54.46) 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.
