  • PSA 9: only 2 sales in the last 7 days, so the verdict uses the longer-run price of $130 from 155 sales, last on Nov 5.

In the last 7 days, 8 PSA 10s and 2 PSA 9s sold. PSA 8 last sold on Oct 16.

PSA 10s are 69% 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 1.2× a CGC 10 of this card. PSA has the most sales, 340. The verdict uses PSA.

PSA 10$378340 sales
BGS 10$6223 sales
CGC 10$31047 sales

After each grader’s base fee for that value, shipping and selling fees, a 10 nets $449 from BGS, $257 from PSA, $239 from CGC. 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%: −$33 versus selling the 9 for a net $113.

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.
  • SurfaceNo scratches, print lines, dents or holo wear under a light.
