Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Shaquille O'Neal #60 sells for $80.00 against $4.27 raw: a $75.73 spread, 19× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($29.95) 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.
