Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Cooper Flagg #NA-CF sells for $3,090 against $825 raw: a $2,265 spread, 3.7× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($999) 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.
