Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw

A PSA 10 Cooper Flagg [Saturn] #PPSA-8 sells for $16,223 against $3,566 raw: a $12,658 spread, 4.6× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($5,617) 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.
