Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Manectric ex sells for $160 against $75.00 raw: a $85.03 spread, 2.1× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($386) 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.
