Is Spider-Man [Grandiose] #164 worth grading?

Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Spider-Man [Grandiose] #164 sells for $65.00 against $23.54 raw: a $41.46 spread, 2.8× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($59.05) 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.
