Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Porygon2 sells for $87.75 against $1.39 raw: a $86.36 spread, 63× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($44.11) 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.
