Strong grading candidate — 5.5× premium in PSA 10
A PSA 10 Xurkitree-GX sells for $187 against $34.12 raw: a $153 spread, 5.5× the ungraded price. A PSA 9 ($26.18) 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.
