Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Herald of Purple Light [1st Edition] EOJ-EN019 sells for $168 against $1.23 raw: a $167 spread, 137× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($140) 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.
