Grading verdict · PSAxy8-153 · Nov 8

Grade it

Grading beats selling raw if your copy has at least a 0.8% chance of a PSA 10.

0.5% if a miss grades PSA 9, 2.5% if it grades PSA 8.

Only a PSA 10 beats selling raw.

At 30%: +$651 per card versus selling raw.

Grading still beats selling raw at your odds while all grading costs stay under this.

If PSA 10s fall 94% from $3,000, grading stops paying at your 30% odds.

  • PSA 10: no sales in the last 7 days, so the verdict uses the longer-run price of $3,000 from 10 sales, last on Oct 28.
  • PSA 9: no sales in the last 7 days, so the verdict uses the longer-run price of $106 from 48 sales, last on Oct 15.
  • A PSA 10 here is worth about $3,000, above the limit of PSA Standard. PSA would move it up to Super Express at $349.00. 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 8 sold. PSA 10 last sold on Oct 28 and PSA 9 last sold on Oct 15.

PSA 10s are 17% of this card’s PSA 9 and 10 sales. Owners sell their best copies, so this is not your chance of a 10.

Raw price

Recorded observations through Nov 9, 12:00 AM UTC. Grading takes months, and the raw price can move while you wait.

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 3.5%. At 15%: +$257 versus selling the 9 for a net $91.88.

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
