Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Art Fowler [Green Tint] #128 sells for $308 against $25.83 raw: a $282 spread, 12× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($280) 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.
