Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Tony Eason [Coming Soon] #96 sells for $86.00 against $1.44 raw: a $84.56 spread, 60× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($77.88) 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.
