Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Jolteon-EX sells for $350 against $23.16 raw: a $327 spread, 15× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($141) 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.
