Is Juggernaut vs. Venom #5 worth grading?

Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Juggernaut vs. Venom #5 sells for $40.00 against $7.76 raw: a $32.24 spread, 5.2× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($36.53) 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.
