Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw

A Grade 9.5 Bo Jackson [50 Stripe] #108 sells for $298 against $80.75 raw: a $217 spread, 3.7× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($271) 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.
