Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Aggron V sells for $40.91 against $0.90 raw: a $40.01 spread, 45× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($27.17) 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.
