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

Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw

A Grade 9.5 Spider-Man [Brown] #1 sells for $476 against $170 raw: a $306 spread, 2.8× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($433) 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): $170
Grade 9.5: $476
