Strong grading candidate — 3.5× premium in PSA 10
A PSA 10 Syndrome sells for $405 against $115 raw: a $290 spread, 3.5× the ungraded price. A PSA 9 ($94.53) 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.
