Is Spider-Man Noir [Pink] #85 worth grading?
Marvel · Marvel 2022 Metal Universe Spider-Man · full price guide →
Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Spider-Man Noir [Pink] #85 sells for $88.00 against $14.56 raw: a $73.44 spread, 6.0× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($80.00) 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.
