Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Cooper Flagg [Uranus] #PPU-8 sells for $13,880 against $3,100 raw: a $10,780 spread, 4.5× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($4,701) 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.
