Is it worth grading?
Strong grading candidate — 13× premium in PSA 10
A PSA 10 Absol sells for $2,070 against $165 raw: a $1,905 spread, 13× the ungraded price. A PSA 9 ($147) sells for less than raw, so anything short of a 10 loses money. Centering is the usual reason a clean copy misses the 10 — measure it before you submit.
