Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Kobe Bryant / Shaquille O'Neal [Dual] #DF14 sells for $1,224 against $750 raw: a $474 spread, 1.6× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($1,113) 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.
