Yeah definitely worth holding on to.
Back when tournaments didn't allow sleeves, you couldn't use miscut or crimped cards because they were visible. So, a lot of people would throw away their "damaged" Alpha/Beta cards. Very, very few survived to today. That means whenever you encounter a crimped or miscut piece of Power 9, it's either a fake or you're looking at a $20,000+ bill.
