Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Spider-Man [Gold Foil Signatures] #115 sells for $152 against $7.14 raw: a $145 spread, 21× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($139) 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.
