Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Meganium sells for $32,850 against $147 raw: a $32,703 spread, 224× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($872) 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.
