Strong grading candidate — 4.3× premium in PSA 10
A PSA 10 ビクティニ sells for $215 against $50.00 raw: a $165 spread, 4.3× the ungraded price. A PSA 9 ($7.50) 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.
