- PSA 10: only 2 sales in the last 7 days, so the verdict uses the longer-run price of $1,352 from 63 sales, last on Nov 6.
- PSA 9: only 1 sale in the last 7 days, so the verdict uses the longer-run price of $177 from 31 sales, last on Nov 5.
- A PSA 10 here is worth about $1,352, above the limit of PSA Standard. PSA would move it up to Priority at $79.99. The verdict includes this.
In the last 7 days, 2 PSA 10s, 1 PSA 9 and 1 PSA 8 sold.
PSA 10s are 67% 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 7.4%. At 15%: +$76 versus selling the 9 for a net $153.
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.
