- PSA 9: no sales in the last 7 days, so the verdict uses the longer-run price of $310 from 61 sales, last on Oct 29.
- A PSA 10 here is worth about $4,300, above the limit of PSA Standard. PSA would move it up to Super Express at $349.00. The verdict includes this.
- Promos come in stamped and plain versions. Check that the sales below match your exact copy.
No PSA 10, 9 or 8 sold in the last 7 days. PSA 10 last sold on Oct 26, PSA 9 last sold on Oct 29 and PSA 8 last sold on Oct 25.
PSA 10s are 31% 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 3.2%. At 15%: +$379 versus selling the 9 for a net $268.
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.
