Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Iron Man #13 sells for $3,792 against $2.99 raw: a $3,789 spread, 1268× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($40.02) 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.
