A PSA 10 sells for 3.6× a CGC 10 of this card. PSA has the most sales, 77. The verdict uses PSA.
After each grader’s base fee for that value, shipping and selling fees, a 10 nets $26.10 from PSA, −$3.33 from CGC. Turnaround and resale demand differ too; check the grader board on Grading costs.
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.
Keep the 9: even a PSA 10 would net less than selling the 9 ($26.49).
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.
