Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Elsa sells for $103 against $0.11 raw: a $103 spread, 940× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($130) 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.
