Strong grading candidate — 4.1× premium in PSA 10
A PSA 10 サワムラー sells for $1,231 against $300 raw: a $931 spread, 4.1× the ungraded price. A PSA 9 ($118) 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.
