Strong grading candidate — 7.5× premium in PSA 10
A PSA 10 Leavanny sells for $295 against $39.53 raw: a $256 spread, 7.5× the ungraded price. A PSA 9 ($27.26) 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.
