Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw

A Grade 9.5 Stephen Curry [Blue] #115 sells for $116 against $49.53 raw: a $66.47 spread, 2.3× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($106) 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.
