Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Al Votes to Expand: To 10 Teams #414 sells for $66.00 against $4.05 raw: a $61.95 spread, 16× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($59.84) 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.
