Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Spider-Man [Gold Foil] #29 sells for $187 against $9.69 raw: a $177 spread, 19× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($58.78) 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.
