Is Fallen of Albaz ROTD-JP011 worth grading?

Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Fallen of Albaz ROTD-JP011 sells for $34.00 against $1.37 raw: a $32.63 spread, 25× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($30.97) 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.
