Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 ガルーラEX sells for $160 against $35.00 raw: a $125 spread, 4.6× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($75.32) 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.
