Strong grading candidate — 14× premium in PSA 10
A PSA 10 Minun sells for $720 against $50.00 raw: a $670 spread, 14× the ungraded price. A PSA 9 ($28.00) 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.
