Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 お公家さまと舞妓はんピカチュウ sells for $2,215 against $260 raw: a $1,955 spread, 8.5× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($880) 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.
