Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Kevin De Bruyne [Green Die Cut] #122 sells for $93.00 against $4.89 raw: a $88.11 spread, 19× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($84.32) 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.
