Is it worth grading?
Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Shaquille O'neal #18 sells for $230 against $7.50 raw: a $223 spread, 31× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($62.50) 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.
