Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw

A Grade 9.5 Brit Selby [Trade Noted on Front] #111 sells for $74.00 against $4.51 raw: a $69.49 spread, 16× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($67.66) 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.
