Strong grading candidate — 3.2× premium in PSA 10
A PSA 10 コダック sells for $966 against $300 raw: a $666 spread, 3.2× the ungraded price. A PSA 9 ($166) 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.
