Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Dialga G LV.X sells for $11,002 against $189 raw: a $10,813 spread, 58× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($600) 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.
