Is Stinky SHAGGY #4b worth grading?

Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Stinky SHAGGY #4b sells for $83.00 against $8.30 raw: a $74.70 spread, 10× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($75.00) 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.
