Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Chase Burns [Red] sells for $5,295 against $1,150 raw: a $4,145 spread, 4.6× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($1,825) 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.
