Strong grading candidate — 6.7× premium in PSA 10
A PSA 10 サーナイト sells for $122 against $18.31 raw: a $103 spread, 6.7× the ungraded price. A PSA 9 ($8.00) 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.
