Grade it

Grading beats selling raw if your copy has at least a 4.4% chance of a PSA 10.

3.6% if a miss grades PSA 9, 8.6% if it grades PSA 8.

Only a PSA 10 beats selling raw.

  • PSA 10: no sales in the last 7 days, so the verdict uses the longer-run price of $770 from 15 sales, last on Oct 26.
  • PSA 9: only 1 sale in the last 7 days, so the verdict uses the longer-run price of $103 from 23 sales, last on Nov 2.
  • Older card: raw prices often include played copies, and PSA 10s are scarcer. Judge by the grade your copy can realistically reach.

In the last 7 days, 1 PSA 9 sold. PSA 10 last sold on Oct 26 and PSA 8 last sold on Oct 26.

PSA 10s are 39% of this card’s PSA 9 and 10 sales. Owners sell their best copies, so this is not your chance of a 10.

Raw price

Recorded observations through Nov 9, 12:00 AM UTC. Grading takes months, and the raw price can move while you wait.

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 13%. At 15%: +$13 versus selling the 9 for a net $88.52.

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.
