- PSA 10: the last 7 days sold at $170, more than double the median of all 274 sales on record ($76.50). The verdict uses the recent price, which may not hold.
In the last 7 days, 7 PSA 10s and 3 PSA 9s sold. PSA 8 last sold on Oct 25.
PSA 10s are 75% 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 4.5× a CGC 10 of this card. PSA has the most sales, 274. The verdict uses PSA.
PSA 10$170274 sales
CGC 10$38.2070 sales
After each grader’s base fee for that value, shipping and selling fees, a 10 nets $77.08 from PSA, $2.74 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 57%. At 15%: −$52 versus selling the 9 for a net $22.16.
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.
