Strong grading candidate — 3.0× premium in PSA 10
A PSA 10 ヤドキング sells for $3,051 against $1,002 raw: a $2,049 spread, 3.0× the ungraded price. A PSA 9 ($406) 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.
