Which grader’s 10 sells best
A PSA 10 sells for 3.4× a CGC 10 of this card. CGC has the most sales, 111. The verdict uses PSA.
PSA 10$14364 sales
CGC 10$42.00111 sales
After each grader’s base fee for that value, shipping and selling fees, a 10 nets $53.88 from PSA, $6.03 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 72%. At 15%: −$56 versus selling the 9 for a net $25.63.
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.
