Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 A Dyad in the Force [Atomic Refractor] #48 sells for $61.00 against $15.00 raw: a $46.00 spread, 4.1× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($55.00) 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.
