Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A CGC 10 Roserade sells for $199 against $5.64 raw: a $194 spread, 35× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($32.98) 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.
