- PSA 10: no sales in the last 7 days, so the verdict uses the longer-run price of $578 from 11 sales, last on Oct 26.
- PSA 9: no sales in the last 7 days, so the verdict uses the longer-run price of $324 from 14 sales, last on Oct 26.
- Older card: raw prices often include played copies, and PSA 10s are scarcer. Judge by the grade your copy can realistically reach.
No PSA 10, 9 or 8 sold in the last 7 days. PSA 10 last sold on Oct 26, PSA 9 last sold on Oct 26 and PSA 8 last sold on Oct 20.
PSA 10s are 44% of this card’s PSA 9 and 10 sales. Owners sell their best copies, so this is not your chance of a 10.

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.
%
Cracking pays if that chance is at least 0%. At 15%: +$57 versus selling the 9 for a net $281.
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.
Before you set your odds: what a PSA 10 needs
- CenteringAbout 55/45 to 60/40 or better on the front, 75/25 on the back.
- CornersFour sharp corners with no rounding or fraying.
- EdgesNo whitening or chipping, especially on the back.
