Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Luca Cagnoni #213 sells for $54.00 against $2.00 raw: a $52.00 spread, 27× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($29.25) 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.
