- PSA 9: only 1 sale in the last 7 days, so the verdict uses the longer-run price of $45.00 from 33 sales, last on Nov 2.
- No PSA 8 price qualifies, so a copy that misses a 10 is assumed to grade PSA 9.
- Promos come in stamped and plain versions. Check that the sales below match your exact copy.
In the last 7 days, 4 PSA 10s and 1 PSA 9 sold. PSA 8 last sold on Sep 14.
PSA 10s are 65% 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
PSA 10s sell highest for this card. PSA has the most sales, 61. The verdict uses PSA. A price far out of line with PSA is held back until it is checked.
PSA 10$51861 sales

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 17%. At 15%: −$8.45 versus selling the 9 for a net $38.64.
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.
