Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Tim Tebow [Gold Refractor] #100 sells for $130 against $49.99 raw: a $80.01 spread, 2.6× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($116) 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.
