Strong grading candidate — 4.8× premium in PSA 10
A PSA 10 ドガース sells for $89.26 against $18.50 raw: a $70.76 spread, 4.8× the ungraded price. A PSA 9 ($7.27) 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.
