Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw

A Grade 9.5 Cooper Flagg / Kon Knueppel [Red] #CFKK sells for $2,805 against $1,600 raw: a $1,205 spread, 1.8× 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.

Raw (NM): $1,600
Grade 9.5: $2,805
