Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Caleb Williams #202 sells for $154 against $3.42 raw: a $151 spread, 45× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($32.17) 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.
