Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Mecha Phantom Beast Dracossack MP14-EN030 sells for $113 against $6.60 raw: a $107 spread, 17× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($33.05) 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.
