Strong grading candidate — 273× premium in PSA 10
A PSA 10 Tepig sells for $41.00 against $0.15 raw: a $40.85 spread, 273× the ungraded price. A PSA 9 ($20.00) 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.
