Strong grading candidate — 23× premium in PSA 10
A PSA 10 Golurk sells for $4,000 against $175 raw: a $3,825 spread, 23× the ungraded price. A PSA 9 ($150) 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.
