- Promos come in stamped and plain versions. Check that the sales below match your exact copy.

Which grader’s 10 sells best
PSA 10s sell highest for this card. PSA has the most sales, 7. The verdict uses PSA. A price far out of line with PSA is held back until it is checked.

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 1.0%. At 15%: +$1,592 versus selling the 9 for a net $497.
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.
- SurfaceNo scratches, print lines, dents or holo wear under a light.
