Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Cosmic Spider-Man [Hologram] #MH1 sells for $6,414 against $28.78 raw: a $6,385 spread, 223× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($285) 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.
