Strong grading candidate — 10× premium in PSA 10
A PSA 10 カメックス sells for $760 against $75.00 raw: a $685 spread, 10× the ungraded price. A PSA 9 ($49.90) 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.
