Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Son Goku [Alternate Art] SB02-004 sells for $269 against $115 raw: a $154 spread, 2.3× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($200) 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.
