Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Exodia the Forbidden One [1st Edition] LOB-124 sells for $10,099 against $550 raw: a $9,549 spread, 18× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($2,100) 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.
