- PSA 10: no sales in the last 7 days, so the verdict uses the longer-run price of $99.95 from 178 sales, last on Oct 8.
- PSA 9: no sales in the last 7 days, so the verdict uses the longer-run price of $29.99 from 154 sales, last on Oct 13.
- 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 8, PSA 9 last sold on Oct 13 and PSA 8 last sold on Aug 24.
PSA 10s are 54% 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 3.8× a CGC 10 of this card. PSA has the most sales, 178. The verdict uses PSA.
PSA 10$99.95178 sales
CGC 10$26.4059 sales
SGC 10$43.003 sales
After each grader’s base fee for that value, shipping and selling fees, a 10 nets $16.32 from PSA, −$7.50 from CGC. 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 ($25.62).
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.
