Is Spider-Man #29 worth grading?
Marvel · Marvel 2020 Masterpieces · full price guide →
Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A CGC 10 Spider-Man #29 sells for $85.00 against $36.45 raw: a $48.55 spread, 2.3× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($64.19) 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.
