Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Glalie-EX sells for $607 against $14.41 raw: a $593 spread, 42× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($39.77) 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.
