Is Black Widow #63 worth grading?
Marvel · Marvel 2016 Masterpieces · full price guide →
Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Black Widow #63 sells for $121 against $8.04 raw: a $113 spread, 15× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($110) 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.
