Is Connor McDavid [Red Prism] #P-CM worth grading?

Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw

A Grade 9.5 Connor McDavid [Red Prism] #P-CM sells for $63.00 against $28.55 raw: a $34.45 spread, 2.2× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($57.00) 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): $28.55
Grade 9.5: $63.00
