Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Bellossom sells for $1,884 against $89.92 raw: a $1,794 spread, 21× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($171) 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.
