Is Daredevil [Radiance] #5 worth grading?
Marvel · Marvel 2015 Upper Deck Vibranium · full price guide →
Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Daredevil [Radiance] #5 sells for $110 against $62.57 raw: a $47.43 spread, 1.8× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($100) 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.
