Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 M Mewtwo-EX sells for $709 against $53.24 raw: a $656 spread, 13× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($112) 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.
