Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Spider-Man [Holofoil] #1 sells for $605 against $84.39 raw: a $521 spread, 7.2× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($550) 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.
