Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Death of Gwen Stacy #32 sells for $100 against $3.65 raw: a $96.35 spread, 27× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($29.99) 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.
