Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw

A Grade 9.5 Spider-Man [Seismic Gold] #61 sells for $8,052 against $3,250 raw: a $4,802 spread, 2.5× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($7,320) 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.
