Strong grading candidate — 6.1× premium in PSA 10
A PSA 10 Rattata sells for $681 against $112 raw: a $569 spread, 6.1× the ungraded price. A PSA 9 ($42.00) 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.
