Strong grading candidate — 14× premium in PSA 10
A PSA 10 アカギ sells for $50.00 against $3.50 raw: a $46.50 spread, 14× the ungraded price. A PSA 9 ($5.00) only about breaks even after fees, so the case rests on gemming. Centering is the usual reason a clean copy misses the 10 — measure it before you submit.
