Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Lava Golem [1st Edition] PGD-107 sells for $566 against $24.74 raw: a $541 spread, 23× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($133) 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.
