Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Josh Hart #151 sells for $35.00 against $1.49 raw: a $33.51 spread, 23× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($29.57) 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.
