Strong grading candidate — 33× premium in PSA 10
A PSA 10 Bellossom sells for $1,015 against $30.47 raw: a $985 spread, 33× the ungraded price. A PSA 9 ($23.95) 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.
