Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Dorian Finney Smith #SC-DFS sells for $84.00 against $3.40 raw: a $80.60 spread, 25× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($70.00) 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.
