Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Porygon-Z sells for $789 against $7.92 raw: a $781 spread, 100× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($38.37) 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.
