Strong grading candidate — 201× premium in PSA 10
A PSA 10 Deoxys sells for $8,428 against $42.02 raw: a $8,386 spread, 201× the ungraded price. A PSA 9 ($40.00) 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.
