Is Hulk #20 worth grading?

Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Hulk #20 sells for $287 against $10.18 raw: a $277 spread, 28× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($261) 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.
