Strong grading candidate — 3.2× premium in PSA 10
A PSA 10 Leafeon-GX sells for $238 against $75.01 raw: a $163 spread, 3.2× the ungraded price. A PSA 9 ($67.27) 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.
