Grade it

Grading pays even if it misses a 10: the PSA 9 price alone beats selling raw.

0% if a miss grades PSA 9, 1.4% if it grades PSA 8.

A PSA 9 or better beats selling raw.

  • PSA 10: only 1 sale in the last 7 days, so the verdict uses the longer-run price of $4,920 from 13 sales, last on Nov 2.
  • PSA 9: the last 7 days sold at $1,366, more than double the median of all 44 sales on record ($475). The verdict uses the recent price, which may not hold.
  • A PSA 10 here is worth about $4,920, above the limit of PSA Standard. PSA would move it up to Super Express at $349.00. The verdict includes this.
  • A PSA 9 ($1,366) is also above your tier’s limit, so it would cost $79.99 to grade.
  • Older card: raw prices often include played copies, and PSA 10s are scarcer. Judge by the grade your copy can realistically reach.

In the last 7 days, 1 PSA 10, 3 PSA 9s and 1 PSA 8 sold.

PSA 10s are 23% 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

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 8.1%. At 15%: +$205 versus selling the 9 for a net $1,185.

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.
