Is Spider-Man #19 worth grading?

Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw

A Grade 9.5 Spider-Man #19 sells for $104 against $32.90 raw: a $71.10 spread, 3.2× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($94.99) 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.

Raw (NM): $32.90
