Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Doctor Doom [Blue Precious Metal Gems] #183 sells for $5,390 against $225 raw: a $5,165 spread, 24× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($4,900) 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.
