Strong grading candidate — 40× premium in PSA 7
A PSA 7 Unown sells for $50.00 against $1.26 raw: a $48.74 spread, 40× the ungraded price. A PSA 9 ($16.00) only about breaks even after fees, so the case rests on gemming. Centering is the usual reason a clean copy misses the 10 — measure it before you submit.
