Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Jack's Knight [1st Edition] EEN-EN005 sells for $168 against $2.32 raw: a $165 spread, 72× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($88.35) 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.
