Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 7 Magmortar sells for $430 against $0.92 raw: a $429 spread, 467× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($75.00) 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.

Even a miss (a 9) beats selling raw after the standard fee — the gem rate only decides how much you win by.
