Is Venom [Neon Blue] #93 worth grading?

Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw

A Grade 9.5 Venom [Neon Blue] #93 sells for $43.00 against $11.33 raw: a $31.67 spread, 3.8× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($39.50) 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.

Raw (NM): $11.33
Grade 9.5: $43.00
