Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Corey Maggette #105 sells for $31.00 against $2.09 raw: a $28.91 spread, 15× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($28.00) 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.
