Is Shore Leave Surprise #60 worth grading?
Entertainment · 1967 Leaf Star Trek · full price guide →
Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Shore Leave Surprise #60 sells for $969 against $6.49 raw: a $963 spread, 149× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($881) 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.
