Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Luxray sells for $1,470 against $23.83 raw: a $1,446 spread, 62× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($158) 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.
