Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Lisandro Martinez [Orange] #29 sells for $111 against $39.19 raw: a $71.81 spread, 2.8× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($101) 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.
