Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Victor Wembanyama [Premium] #5 sells for $192 against $13.37 raw: a $179 spread, 14× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($160) 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.
