Is Wolverine #SG-3 worth grading?
Marvel · Marvel 2019 Flair Stained Glass · full price guide →
Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Wolverine #SG-3 sells for $64.00 against $19.50 raw: a $44.50 spread, 3.3× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($58.00) 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.
