Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 9 Pokémon Fan Club sells for $47.25 against $0.28 raw: a $46.97 spread, 169× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($47.25) 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.
