Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Ian Happ [Refractor] #IH sells for $40.00 against $9.13 raw: a $30.87 spread, 4.4× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($36.26) 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.
