Grading verdict · PSAsv3pt5-179 · Nov 9
Sell it raw
Grading only pays with at least a 89% chance of a PSA 10. Almost no raw copy clears that bar.
88% if a miss grades PSA 9, 90% if it grades PSA 8.
At 30%: −$37 per card versus selling raw.

In the last 7 days, 1 PSA 10, 3 PSA 9s and 1 PSA 8 sold.
PSA 10s are 52% 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.
%
Keep the 9: even a PSA 10 would net less than selling the 9 ($25.62).
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.
