Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Stephen Curry [Silver] #2 sells for $54.00 against $4.49 raw: a $49.51 spread, 12× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($49.00) 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.
