Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Latios ex sells for $7,287 against $278 raw: a $7,010 spread, 26× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($1,274) 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.
