Strong grading candidate — 4.5× premium in PSA 10
A PSA 10 Ratigan sells for $193 against $42.89 raw: a $150 spread, 4.5× the ungraded price. A PSA 9 ($40.81) 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.
