Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Regigigas sells for $30,000 against $48.81 raw: a $29,951 spread, 615× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($858) 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.
