Strong grading candidate — 25× premium in BGS 9
A BGS 9 Victini sells for $335 against $13.45 raw: a $322 spread, 25× the ungraded price. A PSA 9 ($12.00) 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.
