- PSA 10: only 1 sale in the last 7 days, so the verdict uses the longer-run price of $545 from 12 sales, last on Oct 15.
- PSA 9: no sales in the last 7 days, so the verdict uses the longer-run price of $36.98 from 24 sales, last on Oct 14.
- 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 10 and 1 PSA 8 sold. PSA 9 last sold on Oct 14.
PSA 10s are 33% of this card’s PSA 9 and 10 sales. Owners sell their best copies, so this is not your chance of a 10.

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 16%. At 15%: −$4.49 versus selling the 9 for a net $31.68.
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.
