Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Kyogre-EX sells for $486 against $19.17 raw: a $467 spread, 25× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($92.57) 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.
