Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Victor Wembanyama [Rookie Patch] #154 sells for $5,435 against $4,125 raw: a $1,310 spread, 1.3× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($4,941) 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.
