Strong grading candidate — 5.0× premium in PSA 10
A PSA 10 カスミのメノクラゲ sells for $1,500 against $300 raw: a $1,200 spread, 5.0× the ungraded price. A PSA 9 ($49.58) 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.
