Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A CGC 1 Unown [B] sells for $200 against $1.46 raw: a $199 spread, 137× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($49.88) 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.
