Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Manaphy-EX sells for $655 against $17.05 raw: a $638 spread, 38× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($59.73) 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.
