- PSA 10: no sales in the last 7 days, so the verdict uses the longer-run price of $74.99 from 91 sales, last on Oct 22.
- PSA 9: no sales in the last 7 days, so the verdict uses the longer-run price of $19.42 from 60 sales, last on Oct 20.
- No PSA 8 price qualifies, so a copy that misses a 10 is assumed to grade PSA 9.
No PSA 10, 9 or 8 sold in the last 7 days. PSA 10 last sold on Oct 22, PSA 9 last sold on Oct 20 and PSA 8 last sold on May 22.
PSA 10s are 60% of this card’s PSA 9 and 10 sales. Owners sell their best copies, so this is not your chance of a 10.

Which grader’s 10 sells best
A PSA 10 sells for 2.1× a CGC 10 of this card. PSA has the most sales, 91. The verdict uses PSA.
PSA 10$74.9991 sales
CGC 10$35.0027 sales
After each grader’s base fee for that value, shipping and selling fees, a 10 nets −$0.04 from CGC, −$5.34 from PSA. Turnaround and resale demand differ too; check the grader board on Grading costs.
Already have a PSA 9?
Crack it and send the raw card again, or sell the 9 as it is. A miss pays a second grading fee and usually comes back a 9 again.
%
Keep the 9: even a PSA 10 would net less than selling the 9 ($16.45).
A card that graded 9 once is less likely to get a 10 than a fresh copy, so set this lower than you would for one. Cracking a slab can also damage the card.

- CornersFour sharp corners with no rounding or fraying.
