Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 LeBron James [Orange Die Cuts] #93 sells for $405 against $7.00 raw: a $398 spread, 58× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($232) 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.
