Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Spider-Man #MM1 sells for $5,452 against $43.86 raw: a $5,408 spread, 124× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($4,956) 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.
