- PSA 10: only 2 sales in the last 7 days, so the verdict uses the longer-run price of $33,850 from 6 sales, last on Nov 4.
- PSA 9: no sales in the last 7 days, so the verdict uses the longer-run price of $1,438 from 14 sales, last on Oct 12.
- A PSA 10 here is worth about $33,850, above the limit of PSA Standard. PSA would move it up to Premium 2 at $1,999.00. The verdict includes this.
- A PSA 9 ($1,438) is also above your tier’s limit, so it would cost $79.99 to grade.
- Promos come in stamped and plain versions. Check that the sales below match your exact copy.
In the last 7 days, 2 PSA 10s sold. PSA 9 last sold on Oct 12 and PSA 8 last sold on Oct 24.
PSA 10s are 30% 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 0.8%. At 15%: +$3,732 versus selling the 9 for a net $1,247.
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.
