Is Valentina Shevchenko [White Sparkle] #14 worth grading?

Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Valentina Shevchenko [White Sparkle] #14 sells for $88.00 against $25.00 raw: a $63.00 spread, 3.5× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($80.00) 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.
