Is Captain Marvel #30 worth grading?
Marvel · Marvel 2022 Ultra Avengers Jambalaya · full price guide →
Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Captain Marvel #30 sells for $133 against $88.00 raw: a $45.00 spread, 1.5× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($121) 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.
