Strong grading candidate — 3.3× premium in PSA 10
A PSA 10 Mew ex sells for $2,818 against $866 raw: a $1,952 spread, 3.3× the ungraded price. A PSA 9 ($836) 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.
