Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Josh Jacobs [Gold] #10 sells for $2,300 against $1,105 raw: a $1,195 spread, 2.1× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($1,716) 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.
