Strong grading candidate — 41× premium in PSA 10

A PSA 10 Superheavy Samurai Trumpeter SP15-EN028 sells for $41.11 against $1.01 raw: a $40.10 spread, 41× the ungraded price. A PSA 9 ($8.00) 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.
