Is Reggie Jackson #130 worth grading?

Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw

A Grade 9.5 Reggie Jackson #130 sells for $2,208 against $9.13 raw: a $2,199 spread, 242× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($2,008) 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.
