Strong grading candidate — 4.7× premium in PSA 10
A PSA 10 ルギア sells for $2,346 against $501 raw: a $1,845 spread, 4.7× the ungraded price. A PSA 9 ($494) 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.
