Is Deadpool [Gold] #3 worth grading?
Marvel · Marvel 1995 Ultra X-Men Hunters Stalkers · full price guide →
Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Deadpool [Gold] #3 sells for $68.00 against $3.89 raw: a $64.11 spread, 17× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($62.13) 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.
