Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Manga Ryu-Ran [1st Edition] MRL-071 sells for $343 against $3.15 raw: a $340 spread, 109× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($56.00) 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.
