Is Quicksilver #R-19 worth grading?

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

Grading rarely pays for this card

Grade 9.5 copies of Quicksilver #R-19 sell for $5.00, only $0.00 above the $6.26 raw price — less than an economy-tier grading fee. A PSA 9 ($4.25) sells for less than raw, so anything short of a 10 loses money. Keep it raw unless you are grading for the slab itself.

Raw (NM): $6.26
Grade 9.5: $5.00
