Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Mudkip sells for $25,100 against $1,710 raw: a $23,390 spread, 15× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($3,444) 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.
