Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Max Warrior [1st Edition] SOVR-EN003 sells for $35.00 against $2.90 raw: a $32.10 spread, 12× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($31.37) 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.
