Is Venom vs.Demogoblin #6 worth grading?
Marvel · Marvel 1995 Flair Holoblast · full price guide →
Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Venom vs.Demogoblin #6 sells for $63.00 against $5.99 raw: a $57.01 spread, 11× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($57.00) 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.
