Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw

A Grade 9.5 Cleveland Browns [Play Card] #193 sells for $95.00 against $3.63 raw: a $91.37 spread, 26× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($86.00) 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.
