Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Clyde Drexler / Hakeem Olajuwon [Atomic Refractor] #CA7 sells for $93.00 against $14.94 raw: a $78.06 spread, 6.2× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($84.76) 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.
