- PSA 9: only 2 sales in the last 7 days, so the verdict uses the longer-run price of $205 from 114 sales, last on Nov 2.
In the last 7 days, 7 PSA 10s and 2 PSA 9s sold. PSA 8 last sold on Oct 28.
PSA 10s are 81% 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
BGS 10s sell highest for this card. PSA has the most sales, 490. The verdict uses PSA.
PSA 10$456490 sales
BGS 10$55813 sales
CGC 10$48059 sales
SGC 10$1683 sales
After each grader’s base fee for that value, shipping and selling fees, a 10 nets $394 from BGS, $386 from CGC, $325 from PSA. 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 31%. At 15%: −$34 versus selling the 9 for a net $177.
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.
