Grade it

Grading beats selling raw if your copy has at least a 2.3% chance of a PSA 10.

2.2% if a miss grades PSA 9, 2.8% 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 $1,101 from 17 sales, last on Oct 5.
  • PSA 9: only 2 sales in the last 7 days, so the verdict uses the longer-run price of $106 from 65 sales, last on Oct 27.
  • A PSA 10 here is worth about $1,101, above the limit of PSA Standard. PSA would move it up to Priority at $79.99. The verdict includes this.
  • 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, 2 PSA 9s and 3 PSA 8s sold. PSA 10 last sold on Oct 5.

PSA 10s are 21% 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 2.4× a CGC 10 of this card. PSA has the most sales, 17. The verdict uses PSA.

PSA 10$1,10117 sales
CGC 10$4606 sales

After each grader’s base fee for that value, shipping and selling fees, a 10 nets $865 from PSA, $369 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.

%

Cracking pays if that chance is at least 8.4%. At 15%: +$56 versus selling the 9 for a net $91.21.

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.
