Strong grading candidate — 5.0× premium in PSA 10
A PSA 10 Roxanne sells for $325 against $64.98 raw: a $260 spread, 5.0× the ungraded price. A PSA 9 ($57.98) 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.
