- PSA 9: the last 7 days sold at $750, more than double the median of all 87 sales on record ($255). The verdict uses the recent price, which may not hold.
In the last 7 days, 9 PSA 10s, 3 PSA 9s and 2 PSA 8s sold.
PSA 10s are 64% 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
A PSA 10 sells for 1.9× a CGC 10 of this card. PSA has the most sales, 157. The verdict uses PSA.
PSA 10$565157 sales
CGC 10$29016 sales
After each grader’s base fee for that value, shipping and selling fees, a 10 nets $420 from PSA, $221 from CGC. Turnaround and resale demand differ too; check the grader board on Grading costs.
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 ($650).
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.
