- PSA 9: only 1 sale in the last 7 days, so the verdict uses the longer-run price of $35.00 from 58 sales, last on Nov 2.
In the last 7 days, 3 PSA 10s, 1 PSA 9 and 1 PSA 8 sold.
PSA 10s are 74% 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 3.5× a CGC 10 of this card. PSA has the most sales, 162. The verdict uses PSA.
PSA 10$145162 sales
BGS 10$72.853 sales
CGC 10$42.0030 sales
After each grader’s base fee for that value, shipping and selling fees, a 10 nets $55.39 from PSA, $6.03 from CGC, −$27.15 from BGS. The 10s are not equally hard to get: a BGS 10 is far rarer than a PSA 10. 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 74%. At 15%: −$57 versus selling the 9 for a net $29.96.
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.
