Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Togepi sells for $480 against $2.73 raw: a $477 spread, 176× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($38.79) 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.
