Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Wander Franco #R88S-WF sells for $79.00 against $7.88 raw: a $71.12 spread, 10× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($65.51) 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.
