Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Wander Franco [Black] #215 sells for $1,375 against $1,025 raw: a $350 spread, 1.3× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($1,250) 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.
