Strong grading candidate — 23× premium in PSA 9
A PSA 9 Latias sells for $765 against $33.30 raw: a $732 spread, 23× the ungraded price. A PSA 9 ($16.50) 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.
