Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Deadpool #120 sells for $115 against $4.67 raw: a $110 spread, 25× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($30.00) 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.
