Is Daredevil #DD-1 worth grading?

Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Daredevil #DD-1 sells for $113 against $1.80 raw: a $111 spread, 63× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($103) 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.
