Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Flying Pikachu sells for $368 against $8.91 raw: a $359 spread, 41× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($62.03) 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.

|---|---|---|
| 25% | $138 | +$79.53 |
| 50% | $215 | +$156 |

Even a miss (a 9) beats selling raw after the standard fee — the gem rate only decides how much you win by.
