- PSA 10: only 1 sale in the last 7 days, so the verdict uses the longer-run price of $1,055 from 44 sales, last on Nov 4.
- PSA 9: only 1 sale in the last 7 days, so the verdict uses the longer-run price of $325 from 83 sales, last on Nov 5.
- A PSA 10 here is worth about $1,055, above the limit of PSA Standard. PSA would move it up to Priority at $79.99. 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 1 PSA 9 sold. PSA 8 last sold on Nov 1.
PSA 10s are 35% 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 3.0× a CGC 10 of this card. CGC has the most sales, 137. The verdict uses PSA.
PSA 10$1,05544 sales
CGC 10$349137 sales
After each grader’s base fee for that value, shipping and selling fees, a 10 nets $825 from PSA, $272 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 14%. At 15%: +$8.31 versus selling the 9 for a net $282.
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.
