Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw

A PSA 10 Lionel Messi [Campeon] #62 sells for $5,602 against $133 raw: a $5,470 spread, 42× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($1,100) 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.
