Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw

A PSA 10 Cooper Flagg [Team Border] #201 sells for $1,376 against $351 raw: a $1,026 spread, 3.9× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($463) 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.
