Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Glaceon-EX sells for $815 against $37.59 raw: a $777 spread, 22× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($84.17) 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.
