Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A CGC 10 Regigigas-EX sells for $297 against $23.57 raw: a $274 spread, 13× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($55.93) 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.
