Strong grading candidate — 3.0× premium in PSA 10
A PSA 10 ヤドン sells for $151 against $50.00 raw: a $101 spread, 3.0× the ungraded price. A PSA 9 ($17.46) 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.
