Strong grading candidate — 3.2× premium in PSA 10
A PSA 10 ゲンシカイオーガEX sells for $289 against $90.00 raw: a $199 spread, 3.2× the ungraded price. A PSA 9 ($63.96) 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.
