Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Terrell Owens #EX-TOS sells for $168 against $96.00 raw: a $71.50 spread, 1.7× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($125) 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.
