Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Dark Magician Girl MVP1-ENG56 sells for $218 against $12.99 raw: a $205 spread, 17× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($67.00) 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.
