Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Galarian Perrserker sells for $31.00 against $4.97 raw: a $26.03 spread, 6.2× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($114) 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.
