Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Shawn Bradley #E14 sells for $53.00 against $4.50 raw: a $48.50 spread, 12× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($47.97) 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.
