Strong grading candidate — 4.6× premium in PSA 10
A PSA 10 Aurora sells for $153 against $33.50 raw: a $120 spread, 4.6× the ungraded price. A PSA 9 ($17.88) 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.
