Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw

A Grade 9.5 Mike Evans [Autograph] #D-8 sells for $154 against $87.90 raw: a $66.10 spread, 1.8× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($140) 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.
