Strong grading candidate — 3.4× premium in PSA 10
A PSA 10 Lana sells for $157 against $46.04 raw: a $111 spread, 3.4× the ungraded price. A PSA 9 ($40.77) 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.
