Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Victor Wembanyama #6 sells for $29,406 against $5,550 raw: a $23,856 spread, 5.3× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($10,000) 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.
