Strong grading candidate — 50× premium in PSA 10
A PSA 10 Jirachi-EX sells for $1,420 against $28.14 raw: a $1,392 spread, 50× the ungraded price. A PSA 9 ($16.00) 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.
