Is Dak Prescott [Gold] #7 worth grading?

Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw

A Grade 9.5 Dak Prescott [Gold] #7 sells for $182 against $51.72 raw: a $130 spread, 3.5× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($165) 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): $51.72
Grade 9.5: $182
