Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Spiritomb sells for $144 against $4.83 raw: a $139 spread, 30× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($49.10) 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.
