Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Team Aqua's Crawdaunt sells for $59.72 against $1.92 raw: a $57.80 spread, 31× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($28.88) 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.
