Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Tito Francona [Ken Boyer] sells for $835 against $4.06 raw: a $831 spread, 206× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($131) 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.
