Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Rogue / Human Torch [Double Impact] #3 sells for $1,100 against $306 raw: a $794 spread, 3.6× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($1,000) 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.
