Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Bisharp sells for $273 against $1.08 raw: a $272 spread, 253× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($46.52) 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.
