Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw

A PSA 10 Puppet King [1st Edition] CRMS-EN093 sells for $89.82 against $8.38 raw: a $81.44 spread, 11× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($58.99) 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.
