Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Spider-Man 2099 [Emotion Signature Series ] #147 sells for $61.00 against $12.71 raw: a $48.29 spread, 4.8× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($55.70) 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.
