Is Ultimate Spider-Man #46 worth grading?
Marvel · Marvel 2013 Fleer Retro · full price guide →
Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Ultimate Spider-Man #46 sells for $1,915 against $16.01 raw: a $1,899 spread, 120× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($1,741) 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.
