Strong grading candidate — 3.1× premium in PSA 10
A PSA 10 マタドガス sells for $154 against $50.00 raw: a $104 spread, 3.1× the ungraded price. A PSA 9 ($6.00) 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.
