Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Team Rocket's Wobbuffet sells for $188 against $0.22 raw: a $188 spread, 854× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($82.77) 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.
