Is Wolverine #93 worth grading?
Marvel · Marvel 1996 Masterpieces · full price guide →
Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Wolverine #93 sells for $191 against $38.13 raw: a $153 spread, 5.0× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($174) 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.
