Is Black Widow #113 worth grading?

Marvel · 2024 SkyBox Metal Universe Avengers · full price guide →

Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw

A Grade 9.5 Black Widow #113 sells for $109 against $3.66 raw: a $105 spread, 30× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($99.00) 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.
