Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw

A PSA 10 Cooper Flagg [Diamante] #201 sells for $665 against $50.00 raw: a $615 spread, 13× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($80.84) 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.
