Strong grading candidate — 3.0× premium in PSA 10
A PSA 10 カイロス sells for $909 against $300 raw: a $609 spread, 3.0× the ungraded price. A PSA 9 ($105) 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.
