- PSA 10: only 1 sale in the last 7 days, so the verdict uses the longer-run price of $2,388 from 28 sales, last on Nov 2.
- PSA 9: no sales in the last 7 days, so the verdict uses the longer-run price of $290 from 21 sales, last on Oct 28.
- No PSA 8 price qualifies, so a copy that misses a 10 is assumed to grade PSA 9.
- A PSA 10 here is worth about $2,388, above the limit of PSA Standard. PSA would move it up to Express at $199.00. The verdict includes this.
In the last 7 days, 1 PSA 10 sold. PSA 9 last sold on Oct 28 and PSA 8 last sold on Aug 31.
PSA 10s are 57% of this card’s PSA 9 and 10 sales. Owners sell their best copies, so this is not your chance of a 10.

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 4.2%. At 15%: +$182 versus selling the 9 for a net $251.
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

- CornersFour sharp corners with no rounding or fraying.
- EdgesNo whitening or chipping, especially on the back.
