Grading rarely pays for this card
PSA 10 copies of Spider-man [Yellow Sapphire] #1 sell for $3,448, only $0.00 above the $4,600 raw price — less than an economy-tier grading fee. A PSA 9 ($351) sells for less than raw, so anything short of a 10 loses money. Keep it raw unless you are grading for the slab itself.
