Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Connor McDavid [Rainbow] #M1 sells for $1,497 against $146 raw: a $1,351 spread, 10× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($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.
