- PSA 10: only 1 sale in the last 7 days, so the verdict uses the longer-run price of $1,800 from 18 sales, last on Nov 4.
- PSA 9: only 2 sales in the last 7 days, so the verdict uses the longer-run price of $287 from 25 sales, last on Nov 8.
- No PSA 8 price qualifies, so a copy that misses a 10 is assumed to grade PSA 9.
- A PSA 10 here is worth about $1,800, above the limit of PSA Standard. PSA would move it up to Express at $199.00. 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, 1 PSA 10 and 2 PSA 9s sold. PSA 8 last sold on Oct 7.
PSA 10s are 42% 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 3.6× a CGC 10 of this card. PSA has the most sales, 18. The verdict uses PSA.
PSA 10$1,80018 sales
CGC 10$49913 sales
After each grader’s base fee for that value, shipping and selling fees, a 10 nets $1,352 from PSA, $402 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 6.0%. At 15%: +$106 versus selling the 9 for a net $249.
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.
