Is Punisher [Patterned] #MM29 worth grading?
Marvel · Marvel 2017 Spider-Man Metals · full price guide →
Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Punisher [Patterned] #MM29 sells for $75.00 against $31.14 raw: a $43.86 spread, 2.4× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($68.50) 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.
