Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Hunter Renfroe [Chrome Blue Refractor] #CRA-HR sells for $50.00 against $16.72 raw: a $33.28 spread, 3.0× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($45.00) 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.
