Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw

A PSA 10 Zack Baun [Autograph] #174 sells for $51.39 against $7.61 raw: a $43.78 spread, 6.8× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($33.10) 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.
