Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Barry Bonds [SP Limited] #65 sells for $195 against $37.85 raw: a $157 spread, 5.2× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($178) 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.
