Is Sabretooth #63 worth grading?
Marvel · Marvel 2018 Masterpieces · full price guide →
Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Sabretooth #63 sells for $45.00 against $6.15 raw: a $38.85 spread, 7.3× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($41.25) 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.
