Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Mewtwo-EX sells for $4,753 against $189 raw: a $4,564 spread, 25× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($539) 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.
