Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Dark General Freed LODT-EN083 sells for $323 against $8.04 raw: a $315 spread, 40× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($51.84) 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.
