Is Spider-Man [Orange] #1 worth grading?

Marvel · Marvel 2024 Upper Deck Spider-Man Renditions · full price guide →

Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw

A Grade 9.5 Spider-Man [Orange] #1 sells for $109 against $18.06 raw: a $90.94 spread, 6.0× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($99.00) 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.

Raw (NM): $18.06
Grade 9.5: $109
