Is Carnage [Bronze] #MM14 worth grading?
Marvel · Marvel 2017 Spider-Man Metals · full price guide →
Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Carnage [Bronze] #MM14 sells for $638 against $72.22 raw: a $566 spread, 8.8× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($580) 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.
