Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Frozone [Dark Blue Light Blue] #5 sells for $152 against $86.50 raw: a $65.50 spread, 1.8× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($139) 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.
