Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Spider-Man [Blue Precious Metal Gems] #5 sells for $14,091 against $7,203 raw: a $6,889 spread, 2.0× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($12,810) 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.
