Is Spider-Man #10 worth grading?

Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Spider-Man #10 sells for $61.00 against $5.90 raw: a $55.10 spread, 10× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($55.00) 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.
