Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Nincada sells for $83.94 against $0.40 raw: a $83.54 spread, 210× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($27.00) 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.
