Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Semi Finals [Flyers vs. Rangers] #213 sells for $238 against $1.75 raw: a $236 spread, 136× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($217) 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.
