Strong grading candidate — 4.9× premium in PSA 10
A PSA 10 サイクリングロード sells for $148 against $30.00 raw: a $118 spread, 4.9× the ungraded price. A PSA 9 ($12.32) 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.
