Strong grading candidate — 4.5× premium in PSA 10
A PSA 10 Rillaboom VMAX sells for $59.83 against $13.25 raw: a $46.58 spread, 4.5× the ungraded price. A PSA 9 ($24.57) 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.
