Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 M Gardevoir-EX sells for $123 against $27.26 raw: a $95.50 spread, 4.5× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($52.64) 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.
