Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A CGC 9 Mewtwo Spirit Link sells for $125 against $0.70 raw: a $124 spread, 179× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($75.00) 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.
