Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw

A PSA 10 Yordan Alvarez [Orange] #CAE-14 sells for $76.00 against $32.49 raw: a $43.51 spread, 2.3× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($57.82) 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.
