Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Quagsire sells for $111 against $13.44 raw: a $97.20 spread, 8.2× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($47.52) 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.
