Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Spider-Man vs. Venom #H-IV sells for $521 against $77.18 raw: a $444 spread, 6.8× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($474) 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.
