Is Ghost-Spider [Yellow] #28 worth grading?
Marvel · Marvel 2022 Metal Universe Spider-Man · full price guide →
Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Ghost-Spider [Yellow] #28 sells for $43.00 against $4.75 raw: a $38.25 spread, 9.1× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($39.00) 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.
