Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Ledyba δ sells for $168 against $0.67 raw: a $168 spread, 251× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($85.87) 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.
