Is Wolverine Vs. Sentinels #4 worth grading?
Marvel · Marvel 1994 Ultra X-Men Greatest Battles · full price guide →
Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Wolverine Vs. Sentinels #4 sells for $88.00 against $9.89 raw: a $78.11 spread, 8.9× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($80.00) 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.
