Is Daredevil #12 worth grading?
Marvel · Marvel 2020 Masterpieces · full price guide →
Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Daredevil #12 sells for $50.00 against $2.83 raw: a $47.17 spread, 18× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($45.10) 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.
