Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Eustass"Captain"Kid sells for $57.42 against $0.64 raw: a $56.78 spread, 90× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($27.00) 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.
