Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Victor Wembanyama #FSA-VW sells for $4,550 against $2,226 raw: a $2,324 spread, 2.0× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($2,389) 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.
