Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Mew sells for $587 against $66.79 raw: a $520 spread, 8.8× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($94.60) 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.
