Strong grading candidate — 3.6× premium in PSA 10
A PSA 10 カメックスEX sells for $204 against $56.29 raw: a $148 spread, 3.6× the ungraded price. A PSA 9 ($50.99) 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.
