- PSA 10: only 2 sales in the last 7 days, so the verdict uses the longer-run price of $465 from 35 sales, last on Nov 4.
- PSA 9: no sales in the last 7 days, so the verdict uses the longer-run price of $93.50 from 28 sales, last on Oct 31.
- No PSA 8 price qualifies, so a copy that misses a 10 is assumed to grade PSA 9.
In the last 7 days, 2 PSA 10s sold. PSA 9 last sold on Oct 31 and PSA 8 last sold on Jan 13.
PSA 10s are 56% 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 22%. At 15%: −$22 versus selling the 9 for a net $80.71.
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.
