Strong grading candidate — 375× premium in CGC 6
A CGC 6 Snubbull sells for $45.00 against $0.12 raw: a $44.88 spread, 375× the ungraded price. A PSA 9 ($14.99) only about breaks even after fees, so the case rests on gemming. Centering is the usual reason a clean copy misses the 10 — measure it before you submit.
