Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw

A PSA 10 Chandler Simpson [Green Refractor] #RA-CSI sells for $108 against $60.11 raw: a $48.27 spread, 1.8× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($98.47) 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.
