Is Doublade worth grading?

Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 9 Doublade sells for $131 against $0.27 raw: a $131 spread, 485× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($115) 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.
