Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Nidoran ♀ sells for $180 against $2.47 raw: a $177 spread, 73× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($38.41) 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.
