Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 M Gardevoir-EX sells for $535 against $56.21 raw: a $479 spread, 9.5× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($96.56) 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.
