Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Peyton Manning [Tan Back] #52B-1 sells for $62.00 against $29.88 raw: a $32.12 spread, 2.1× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($56.01) 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.
