Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Gold Pride - Captain Carrie [Starlight Rare] PHHY-EN088 sells for $141 against $46.97 raw: a $94.27 spread, 3.0× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($121) 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.
