Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw

A Grade 9.5 Victor Wembanyama [Pink] #6 sells for $994 against $575 raw: a $419 spread, 1.7× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($904) 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.

Raw (NM): $575
