Strong grading candidate — 103× premium in PSA 10
A PSA 10 Hades sells for $2,477 against $23.98 raw: a $2,453 spread, 103× the ungraded price. A PSA 9 ($21.81) 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.
