Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Cooper Flagg [Holo Orange Foil] #NA-CF sells for $2,805 against $1,892 raw: a $913 spread, 1.5× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($2,550) 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.
