Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Victor Hedman #YGR-29 sells for $97.00 against $1.59 raw: a $95.41 spread, 61× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($80.85) 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.
