Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 9 Haxorus sells for $1,499 against $3.87 raw: a $1,495 spread, 387× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($34.55) 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.
