Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Spider-man #MI-1 sells for $63.39 against $11.42 raw: a $51.97 spread, 5.6× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($44.40) 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.
