Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Elsa [Black Sapphire Refractor] #111 sells for $2,000 against $1,250 raw: a $750 spread, 1.6× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($1,310) 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.
