Is it worth grading?
Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Shaquille O'Neal [Refractor] #309 sells for $2,500 against $300 raw: a $2,200 spread, 8.3× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($455) 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.
