Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Wander Franco #PPAR-WF sells for $275 against $135 raw: a $140 spread, 2.0× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($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.
