Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Krabby sells for $49.00 against $0.48 raw: a $48.52 spread, 102× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($39.98) 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.
