Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Sabrina's Gastly sells for $144 against $12.35 raw: a $132 spread, 12× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($56.40) 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.
