Strong grading candidate — 3.5× premium in PSA 10
A PSA 10 Oswald sells for $312 against $90.19 raw: a $222 spread, 3.5× the ungraded price. A PSA 9 ($65.89) 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.
