Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Elemental Hero Dark Neos [Ultimate Rare 1st Edition] POTD-EN033 sells for $5,000 against $397 raw: a $4,603 spread, 13× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($630) 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.
