Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw

A PSA 10 Cooper Flagg #PP-16 sells for $91.55 against $6.76 raw: a $84.79 spread, 14× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($35.35) 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.
