Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Victor Wembanyama #11 sells for $27,060 against $170 raw: a $26,890 spread, 159× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($22,550) 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.
