Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Oozy SUZIE [Glossy] #28a sells for $220 against $15.60 raw: a $204 spread, 14× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($200) 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.
