Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Jayden Daniels [Gold] #16 sells for $25,000 against $630 raw: a $24,370 spread, 40× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($887) 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.
