Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Cooper Flagg [Victory] #201 sells for $999 against $177 raw: a $822 spread, 5.6× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($255) 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.
