Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 コイキングごっこピカチュウ sells for $12,201 against $3,600 raw: a $8,601 spread, 3.4× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($7,462) 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.
