Strong grading candidate — 97× premium in PSA 10

A PSA 10 Cyclone Blade POTD-EN043 sells for $46.69 against $0.48 raw: a $46.21 spread, 97× the ungraded price. A PSA 9 ($7.00) 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.
