Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw

A Grade 9.5 Rhett Lowder [Red] #T90-91 sells for $99.00 against $47.62 raw: a $51.38 spread, 2.1× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($90.00) 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.
