Is Venom [Bronze] #MM23 worth grading?
Marvel · Marvel 2017 Spider-Man Metals · full price guide →
Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Venom [Bronze] #MM23 sells for $425 against $150 raw: a $275 spread, 2.8× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($386) 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.
