Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Necrozma-GX sells for $49.82 against $1.83 raw: a $47.99 spread, 27× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($31.55) 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.
